New battery is cheap. Subaru headgaskets are not.
I’ve known plenty of people with Subarus and none have had head gasket issues. I think the problem is exaggerated because it’s memed.
The EV is definitely a money improvement. A new battery and the Subaru will sell for a pretty penny, though.
I’m not against them, but I wonder how EVs will hold up in the long haul. Like in 20 years will there even be a feasible used market or will the batteries and motors be too shitty without a crazy expensive replacements to keep them practical?
And then there’s the scrapping process for batteries too. Can batteries be refurbished, scrapped or recycled in a way that most regions can do it?
Like LEDs I know they CAN be built to last a long time, but I know companies often don’t
page 9 goes into battery reuse and recycle <3
